[REBOL] RFC: A messaging kernel
From: maarten:koopmans:surfnet:nl at: 31-Dec-2002 8:58
All,
I am thinking/playing with the concept of a messaging kernel.
What is that?
IMO, a messaging kernel would allow you to send a message to another
kernel, that dispatches it to the appropiate handler on arrival.
So you would do:
send-message some-uri [ some-message ]
The receiving side would have been initialized with:
message-kernel/add-message-type some-type some-handler
message-kernel/run ;enter the evnt loop, basicallyy a wait
The rest is magic ;-)
Now of course there is a lot of features to include:
- different transports (TCP, UDP, HTTP)
- security
- compression
- balancing
- persistent connections
Think of it as the messaging counterpart of Rugby.
Are there any things that you want to see included?
